We will be celebrating our next gathering by returning to the newly renovated Barton Conference Center, a privately owned camp in suburban North Oxford, MA. Located on the site of the birthplace of American Red Cross co-founder Clara Barton and overlooking a country pond, this recently built quiet Conference Center has heated two-man rooms with plenty of toilets and hot showers just down the hall. Grounds include tennis and basketball courts, athletic fields and hiking trails on 200 acres of land. Please note The Barton Center for Diabetes Education is a completely Smoke-Free Facility.
